HPE harnesses EPYC power and efficiency with HPE ProLiant DL145

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has launched the ProLiant DL145, a Gen11 server purpose-built for edge locations such as retail stores, health clinics, banks, and factory production lines. The new server features a fourth-gen AMD EPYC 8004 processor with up to 64 cores and is capable of supporting up to 128 virtual machines.

The new server has already achieved five world records, according to HPE; these include an uplift in performance of 8.2%¹ on the current record holder for optimal business value and better energy efficiency than the current Linux world record², resulting in reduced operating costs and support in helping customers achieve sustainability goals.

Other devices in the expanded HPE ProLiant Gen11 range that make use of the new AMD EPYC 9005 series processors deliver 35% performance³ improvements and 25% better energy efficiency, compared to previous models⁴.

According to HPE, the new servers have already achieved 30 world records⁵, in areas such as energy efficiency, data management, and virtualisation. For example, they deliver 41.4% better performance and 28.6% better price/performance for a two-processor server on Microsoft SQL Server 2025 Enterprise Edition6.
